Before that fateful summer night, Willow had balanced the insight of emotion, and the vivid images. That night, the figure in her nightmare marked her wrist with a star, giving her father no choice but to tell Willow a family secret that would abruptly change life, as she knew it, forever. Before Willow had time to absorb the shock of her father's secret, her soul mate that had shared every stunning dream with her, found her, and darkness captured her closest friends. In order to save them, she must weave through broken myths and the undeniable power of the Zodiac. In the end, Willow discovers that at the moment of our birth we are all given a divine gift.

I really didn’t know what to expect with this book, the blurb sounded very interesting but l felt it might have a few things which l would struggle to get into. This book was not in ANY way hard to get into it. It straight away draws you into the story, introducing you to Willow in a way which then leaves you with a lot of questions about what is going on, who they are etc. I found this a good thing and not in a confused way (until further in the book) but instead very intrigued.
I didn’t feel all the characters in this book were amazingly developed; l would have liked to have seen some more depth to some of them. Mainly Willow’s parents as they just seemed to spend their whole time worrying about Willow so l felt that is the only side l really saw of them. Saying that, Willow is well developed and for me, the reader, she felt very real. Her emotions are clear and although sometimes she did annoy with me carrying out very silly actions you kind of feel like it’s acceptable with what she is going through.
Not only is Willow a very developed character who is great to read about, the story line is a very interesting one too. It is a very unique read which was never predictable in any places. When you first start to read this story you feel like everything is ‘set out in front of you’, so to say, but actually so much more happens in this book which is unthinkable. So much is so very unique and so refreshing to find out about this new world with Jamie Magee has written about in a lovely and easy way to understand.
Overall this is a great book which really does not have enough recognition at all! If you’re looking for a book which will pleasantly surprise you then this is the book =) I don’t really have anything negative to say about this book, the only reason it isn’t 4.5/5 is just because in some places l felt a bit disconnected from the story because of the way love is 'found' and it is sometimes confusing towards the end. I look forward to reading another book by Jamie Magee

  1. Sounds great. I haven't heard of this. It's nice to have a book that isn't hard to get into. I also like characters who sometimes do annoying things - as long as you can relate to them, that's what matters.

  4. Character development is extremely important to me, even for secondary characters. I'm glad Willow worked well for you, but even I wish there was more to her parents.

    Great review. Thanks for showcasing an under recognized book.
